“Three… two…. one…!”
As the news channel theme played overhead, the blonde anchor sorted through papers, tapping her nails one by one on the table as she waited for the music to decrescendo. As soon as it did, she sat up, flipping her hair behind her before looking seriously into the camera.
“Good morning, Sinnoh. This is Jubilife City Channel 2 news. Please pardon our interruption of your programs, as we have breaking news and updates surrounding the Azure Academy incident that occurred late last night. I’m Lacey Bo, let’s get started."
More music played, a hint of something familiarly eerie about the notes, but it was too brief a tone to be distinguishable.
“It has been previously theorized that the cause of the devastating and fatal explosion at Azure Academy was due to spilled, dangerous chemicals in the basements of the school, igniting from a wild Litwick’s flame that strayed too close. Investigators on the scene have found evidence of the rumored abandoned labs down below in the Academy, but recent evidence implies that there may be foul play involved.”
“Authorities will not release what exactly it is that makes them believe that this may have been an intentional act, but due to the severity, Sinnoh officials have concluded that we need to take this as a threat toward the region from an unidentified source." she said, gathering her papers once more. "Additionally, there are reports that communications have been cut to anyone outside the region, which is also currently being investigated. As a result of these incidents, they have concluded that the following actions be enforced immediately."
Lacey grabbed the glasses hanging from her neck and put them on, blinking to adjust before taking a single paper and reading from it aloud.
“Immediately following this report, all ports and airports will be shutdown, no one in or out of the region. All flights and boat rides are cancelled, and perimeters have been set to enforce this. As such, borders have been closed. Again, no one in or out of the region. This is to ensure the safety of the people of Sinnoh as we continue to investigate what exactly transpired at Azure Academy, and who, if proven an intentional act, is at fault. Please be patient with us during these trying times as we ensure that peace is maintained.”
Lacey took off her glasses and looked directly into the camera.
“These are trying times that we are facing in our beautiful home. We hope that we can figure out what exactly transpired last night at the prestigious Azure Academy, and ease the worries and answer your questions soon as information comes in. This has been Jubilife City Channel 2 news. Get out there and create a better tomorrow.”
The music swelled, and Lacey spoke, drowned out by the music but just barely audible.
“And stay safe.”
